Road Trip - Vegas here we come!

Our last leg of the road trip was supposed to be a stop in San Diego and Legoland.  Well, outrageous hotel prices caused us to make a change.  Instead of San Diego, we decided to head to Las Vegas! yes, the Mesquitas took their kids to Vegas.  ha ha

It was a LONG drive from Fremont to Las Vegas.  I learned a few things . . . .
  1. I <3 Gilroy! We drove through Gilroy to get to Interstate 5.  It is the garlic capital of the world. I'm ready to sell the house in Goodyear and move to Gilroy to run a garlic farm. =)
  2. There is A LOT of farming going on  in northern California.  All along I-5 there were farms, farm, and more farms.  And the way Google maps had us go, even off of I-5 the farms continued.
  3. DO NOT STOP in Boron, California! There is NOTHING there! Make sure to use the rest area that is located at off ramp right before Boron.  Long story short, we had to use the restrooms at a public park.  Thank goodness for hand sanitizer.  I'm still traumatized from that place!
  4. Make sure that between Barstow and Las Vegas, you are the one who gets to rest. While Anthony drove, I slept, which was a good thing.  Anthony said it was BORING.  Joshua asked... Why do people live here??? hahahahahahaha
We checked in out hotel and called it a night to rest for our day in Las Vegas.
McDonald's in Barstow.
